Dance ranks high in the “real” triple j Hottest 100

The official triple j Hottest 100 countdown might not kick off until Australia Day, but J-Play have already released their list of the station’s most played songs of 2012. The honours, ITMers should be pleased (and maybe a little surprised) to hear, have gone to some big dance tracks: Brisbane newcomers Parachute Youth taking the top spot with their breakthrough single Can’t Get Better Than This. Major Lazer came in second with Get Free and in the #4 spot was none other than Skrillex with the inescapable Bangarang.

So how likely is the list of most-played tracks to translate to the actual Hottest 100? According to the bookie odds, the dance track with the best chances of ranking high is Calvin Harris’ Florence Welch collaboration Sweet Nothing (the track also cracked the J-Play list at #54) while Bangarang and Get Free also have decent odds. But with Somebody That I Used To Know ’s reign over, there’s no clear winner for this year’s countdown – in the lead-up to triple j’s big day, check out the full J-Play list below.
